Research and development is also an expense, which tax people allow to be deducted from income immediately rather than calling it capital expenditure. But I consider R&D to be investment capital

Maurice, i think this is a valid perspective. however, history has shown that returns on R&D eventually fall to the cost of capital. this is especially true in "crowded markets" like high tech.
